Kori's "Guardian" All-Hazard Suit

The modern-day Sith demonstrated a variety of unorthodox strategies, beyond just lightsabers and the Force. They use explosives, deploy bioweapons, and even bring a small fleet into orbit to wreak havoc on unsuspecting worlds. Faced with such diverse tactics, Jedi Knight Nykoria Tallis saw the need to adapt. This custom armored suit for everyday use is her answer.

Based on a standard armored flight suit, it incorporates a few more safeguards. The materials used in this sealed suit are rated against toxins and chemicals. Armorweave padding and cape protect the wearer and the suit's integrity from shrapnel. Survival HUD in the helmet monitors the environment and informs when to switch to the closed oxygen cycle.

However, the suit is not without its flaws. To accommodate all the enhancements mentioned above, the clunky life-support box with oxygen hoses—an easy target for lightsabers—had to go. The wearer wouldn't survive in open space as long as with a standard flight suit. On the other hand, he or she might survive in the belly of a Sarlacc... For a while longer at least.

P.S. As a bonus, the mask also conceals Kori's face and hides the burns that she sustained during the Sith attack on the Sector Ranger HQ on Coruscant.


LEGALITY

As legal as a custom flight suit would be. But wearing a fully-enclosed helmet in public without a good reason may be frowned upon in the more civilized worlds.


INTENT

To provide a customized armor for @Nykoria Tallis, as well as for other Jedi Guardians (and not only them) who might want to use a suit like this. It is designed to be a "jack of all trades, master of none".


RESTRICTIONS

The materials to put this suit together are widely available, but the suit itself is not standard issue. Every "Guardian" suit would be tailored to the wearer and look different.


TYPE AND COVERAGE

Type: Light Armor

Coverage: (Coverage regions for Light armor is 1-3 regions, Medium is 4-5, Heavy is 6-7)
  • Head: Enclosed duraplast helmet
  • Torso: Lightweight durafiber blast vest with removable duraplast plate inserts
  • Back: Lightweight durafiber blast vest with removable duraplast plate inserts


FUNCTIONS

Function 1: Survival HUD
  • Reads atmosphere composition and detects toxins.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 2: Rebreather
  • Rebreathers, whether built into a helmet or a separate mask, allow for the wearer to breath underwater or in space for brief amounts of time by scrubbing CO2 from their exhaled breath and recycling it. Generally this lasts for up to 5 posts, but heavy exertion can shorten that time.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 3: Vac-Seal
  • It's no replacement for a dedicated spacesuit if you intend to EVA, but this under suit, when combined with a helmet, can protect the wearer from the immediate effects of exposure to a vacuum for up 5 posting rounds. You still need a way to breathe, however.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 4: Environment Suit
  • While it is not rated for extended exposure to extreme hazards, this body suit (when combined with an enclosed helmet) can protect the wearers body from the effects of environmental and weaponized toxins and similar hazards for up to 5 posting rounds.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 5: Armorweave Accessory
  • Most often in the form of a heavy cape, skirt, or underlay beneath armor, armor weave provides some protection against the penetrating effects of shrapnel from explosives and other unpowered high velocity impacts, with only a small amount of bleed through damage (bruising or very minor wounds). It offers no protection against kinetic impact or energy, vibroweapons, or similar "powered" weapons. Having more than one accessory (example: Cape + underweave) provides no additional effect.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
